I was disappointed there were no plates or cutlery in the room, but I guess that I got what I paid for. The heater was OK on the first day, but it wouldn’t operate on the second day. Otherwise the room was fine and the shower was great.

It was OK, super budget place.. Staff were friendly. Room was OK but hotbwatwr was scalding and in the shower the water flipped from scalding to cold so had to constantly move the temperature lever. Speaking again of the shower I assumed the motel is called The Hobbit as the shower heads are located high enough for only a Hobbit to not need to squat under. Otherwise it was fit for purpose

Great Value for money

We have now stayed at the Hobbit several times and each time has been great. It's not 5-star but it doesn't pretend to be - it's just a good solid Kiwi motel! It's got a nice quiet location, is always very clean and tidy, and is great value for money.
The Hobbit will always be our first choice whenever we're in the area.

Not so good

Room was quite good and spacious
However the spa which was advertised was closed for repairs,and it was a deciding factor in choosing this place as we were doing a lot of hikes,and the caretaker was doing some renovation to the floor in another room till after 10pm when I had had enough and went to let him know that some people were trying to SLEEP!
Also the tiny heater which sounded like a jet coming in to land kept cutting in and out all night

A pleasant weekends break away.

We had an enjoyable weekend at The Hobbit Motorlodge. Our hosts were very nice and welcoming. We had travelled up from Blenheim for our sons Army Reserve Marching Out Parade at Waiouru Military Camp. Ohakune is a lovely wee town and is easy travelling to Waiouru. I imagine during the winter it comes alive for the ski season. For us it was the right choice. Our only little thing was the heat during the nights. I’m sure if we had thought of it and asked, we could have gotten an upright fan from the Office which would have made sleeping a bit better. Thank you for our very pleasant stay. 😀👍

Super friendly service and great location

We stayed for three nights mid December to do the Tongariro Alpine crossing and the Ohakune Old Coach Road cycling trail. Great location for that. We got a very spacious and comfortable room. Our host was welcoming and very helpful with a little intro to what to see and where to eat in the area. Will definitely stay there again when we come back to do the Tongariro Alpine crossing again in better weather (which by the way is absolutely worth doing even in rain and strong wind).

Hostel room at a hostel rate

Stayed in the hostel rooms, not the larger rooms so do not use this reference for those larger rooms. Hostel rooms I have stayed in two, one had two bunk beds and the other a single bunk bed. Rooms are small, both had their own tv which could only be watched from the top bunks. Kitchen area is limited. Dining/Lounge area is limited. Spa is nicer/cleaner than some I've used in the area although a touch smaller, nice private outdoor setting though and still usable in the rain.
